Rides will be open at 4 p.m. from Oct. 21-25 and earlier throughout the weekend.

The Commercial Booths in the Civic Center will open on Oct. 22-27 at 9 a.m. It’s a great place to meet some of the candidates running for office while shopping for some unique gift ideas for the approaching holidays!

Jackson County citizens age 70 and above are invited to the Old Settler’s Day Lunch at the fair on Thursday, Oct. 25. Lunch tickets can be picked up from 9:00 a.m. – 11 a.m. at a tent in front of the Arts Building that day.

The food is another ingredient to the Fair’s on-going success.
